WHAT IS BIRTH TISSUE DONATION?

Did you know your baby’s birth tissue could be used to benet someone else? Often, the birth tissue is discarded along with medical waste. But with your donation, this same birth tissue can help dozens of others.


Placenta donation, or birth tissue recovery, is a program of Sierra Donor Services that utilizes the birth tissue’s remarkable ability to heal. After the baby’s birth, the birth tissue’s cellular components and amniotic membrane can be repurposed to create products for wound healing, scar tissue repair, and wound tissue regeneration.


Birth tissue can be used for face and eye injuries, burns, oral surgeries, spine surgeries, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, bed sores, and a variety of other soft tissue healing.


Below are some of the key accountabilities this position will hold:

  • Corresponds with hospitals and birthing centers to coordinate onsite birth tissue recovery initiatives. Travels by car to assigned facilities to provide appropriate recovery and education support.
  • Initiates the donation discussion for placenta donation with new moms prior to delivery. Provides education on how the mother's new baby can be Life's Little Helper!

  • Performs other duties as assigned


SCHEDULE: This position is generally Monday - Friday position - but may require the occasional weekend if a delivery is prescheduled.
